The guest cottage is located about 30 yards from the main house and features a large living area, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom as well as two covered porches, one screened-in and the other one open.

The living area has a 4 person dining table for meals, a Roku-equipped TV and sitting area, daybed and a fully-stocked gaming closet.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has great views overlooking the forest and property. It has a comfortable queen-sized bed, a small writing desk, and an adjoining closet for hanging clothes and ironing.

The bathroom includes a large cast-iron soaking tub with complimentary bath salts, bubble bath, toiletries, candles, and face masks. While there is currently no shower available, many guests have found the bath time to be a highlight of their stay.

The kitchen is furnished with a full size refrigerator/freezer, 4 range stove-top and oven, coffeemaker and toaster. There are cast iron as well as regular pots and pans, cutting board, and all the cooking utensils you'll need. There is also an additional pantry for food storage.

The upper porch has an additional dining area for four. It also features a twin-sized bed with netted canopy for guests looking to spend a night or two closer to the outdoors.

Guest Access
Guests are welcome to take advantage of our self-check in process - which includes a photo slideshow of how to access the space and thorough written instructions.

We are also available anytime in person or over the phone to help guests who are having trouble finding our place or who may need assistance.

Bringing pets:
We happily welcome a pet - we ask that any pet be declared at the time of booking as we do charge a pet fee of $15/night. Dogs must be leashed when near the house and crated if left alone in the space for any length of time. Unfortunately, service animals cannot be left alone in the space, regardless if crated.

Other notes:
> There is no air-conditioning, however the space remains about 10-15 degrees cooler during the summer months due to it's location.
> Laundry is available at the main house once per week for those staying 7 nights or longer.
> Guests are not permitted to receive mail or packages at this address, regardless of length of stay.
